Wolves 3-2 West Ham: Jorgen Strand Larsen brace off the bench sends side through to Carabao Cup third round

Report and free match highlights from the Carabao Cup second round tie between Wolves and West Ham at Molineux; Jorgen Strand Larsen scored twice late on; Jarrod Bowen apologises for angry exchange with own supporter after third defeat in a row

Jorgen Strand Larsen came off the bench to score twice as Wolves came from behind to beat West Ham 3-2 in the Carabao Cup as Graham Potter suffered defeat again.

The West Ham boss had appeared on course for a first win of the season after goals from Tomas Soucek and Lucas Paqueta put his side in charge despite Rodrigo Gomes' opener but the game was transformed by Strand Larsen appearance off the bench.

The Norwegian has been a transfer target for Newcastle and showed just why with a smart finish on his weaker foot before nodding in the winner to the delight of the Molineux crowd who cheered loudly for their striker.

Both teams had come into this having lost their first two Premier League games but it is Vitor Pereira's team who have had the fillip of a cup win and progress to the third round. Potter's problems continue with a healthy contingent of away fans left unimpressed.

Bowen in Dispute with Fan
Tensions around West Ham flared as captain Jarrod Bowen became embroiled in a heated exchange with supporters. Bowen later took to social media to apologise for his reaction.

“Apologies to the fans for my response tonight,” Bowen wrote. “I’m a passionate player who gives everything on the pitch, but I must set a better example. You all know how much I love this club and our supporters.

“We go through the tough times together — see you all on Sunday.”
